Tim McGraw defends Auburn, SEC’s honor on Late Night

Country singer Tim McGraw was less than thrilled with Sebastien Bach’s performance of the University of Oregon-themed power-ballad last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Fallon commissioned the song for a contingent of Oregon alumni on his staff.

“Power ballads fits ducks, I guess,” MgGraw said when Fallon asked his opinion. “Now, if you were going to go the Auburn Tiger route, you know, c’mon. The SEC is real football.”

“So what does that mean,” Fallon shot back. “What do they listen to?”

“I don’t know,” McGraw said. “You could have a good power ballad but there’s going to be some slamming at the end of it, especially when ducks are involved. I mean, tigers and ducks…”

When Fallon asked McGraw, an LSU fan, if he was “a big Auburn fan,” he replied “I’m a big SEC fan.”

It’s okay. I think our boys enjoy silencing their detractors. That picture of Cam and Fairley with their hands covering their mouths after the Iron Bowl? Priceless. I think they’re itching for the chance to silence everyone again. Let Oregon be the popular pick. Auburn will just keep winning.

Also good to see that Quackhead fits the smug, self righteous, and pretentious stereotype that Duck Fans have developed for themselves on all of our websites over the last few weeks. Can’t say I’ll be sorry to be rid of them after the Tigers serve ’em up for supper on Monday.
